CH A-N- D-AfIA7 l FROM THE PRESS BOX By JOHN THOMAS MICHIGAN WILL ENCOUNTER Illinois tomorrow night at Urbana in the second game of the current trip. The Suckers have planned a rous- ing welcome for the Michigan team that includes a victory on their home floor-or so they intimate in advance dope. We never heard of weather conditions hampering basketball practice until just the other day. In the Daily Illini there appeared a story about a rainstorm causing postponement of practice for the Michigan game by the Ilini cage team. In their brand new gym someone forgot to plug the roof and numerous leaks allowed the water to fall to the court. Finally Coach Craig Rudy called off the practice for the day because of uncertain footing. Sev- oral of his players had slipped and*- - 10 and here it is-r- ANEW AND MODERN- the decision was made that it was too dafigerous. They might have em- ployed a "mopper-up"-as Michigan does during games. Coach Cappon expects to stand pat on his lineup that started Michigan's ast two games, Syracuse and Iowa. Captain Eveland and Plummer will he at the forwards and Garner at center. Ray Altenhof, one of the stars of the Iowa game, will team with Pe- toskey at the guards. , If Coach Ruby uses the same line- up tomorrow night as he did in the cipning game of the year, against Bradley, (which he probably won't) the Illini should have a slightly tal- ler aggregation on the floor than the Wolverines. That team, composed of F'enl, Froschauer, Helimich, Beynon aid C. Kamm, averaged something 6v r six feet. Hellmich is a mere six feet four inches while our own Ed Garner f-ears up into the atmosphere for two more inches. The battle for tip- off should be close and interesting. Incidentally, two good ends should meet in tomorrow night's battle. Fred Fenclr, regular Illini fiankman this year, is one of the few experi- enced cagers playing for Coach Rudy this season. Ted Petoskey will prob- ably start at one guard for Michigan. The ref may even find the two off in a corner of the court sometime during the evening discussing the matter of evading the defensive half while going down under punts, or sm aof the other technical points connected with end play. 'The twin bugaboos, ineligibility and. injuries, hndicapped the Illini in their wvrm-up games, .and, as far a we can learn, may still be on hand tomorrow night. Capt. Red Owen was kept out of early practice and the Bradley Tech game with an infected ear, while Cas Bennet, a regular, was kept out by inelegibility during the early games, but did play in the game with University of Detroit last week. Owen also got into the Detroit game for a short time and will probably be sufficiently recovered to start tomor- row night. The line-up against Detroit shows that coach Rudy has been experi- ______mentinga good . pf deal during the preliminary games. Bennet and Fros- chauer were at the 3.* lforwards, Helimich at center, and Ben- ~2~Q Yon and Theobold played guard. When Owens has fully recuperated i Benyon and Theo- '?bold will have to *, k: fight it out for the other guard posi- tion, with the lat- ter having an edge due to his fine play in the Detroit game. The Illini record for -warm-up games gives them a -big edge over Michigan. They won- four and lost one while Michigan won- one and lost I four. This fact cannot be taken as a particularly good indication of the' relative strength of the two teams, though, because, in no case, were their opponents the same. In the final preliminary game they turned back a strong U. of D. team by a close score, 26 to 21. U. of D. has a good team this year but we don't believe they would be any match for Michigan State or West- ern State, both of whom defeated Michigan. In their opener they defeated Bradley 26 to 21, lost to Wabash in the second game 29 to 27 and came back with wins over Missotri, 36 to 24 and North Dakota, 26 to 24. r .S :' } _ ti ti . l } .. 1 4 aC+w [ t ---Associated Press Photo Ak" Bout Set Fri. .1.4 CHICAGO, Jan. 7.- /P)-"Society Mid" Hogan, the old featherweight of 10 years ago, looked up with blank amazement at Sidney Strotz and made a dash for the door. "Didja see what that guy just did?" he gasped. "Why, he's gone nutty! He picked up a looking glass and jumped on it just like that! I'm not going to hang around that guy. No, sir! He's flirting with bad luck." But if you peek into the office or bedroom of theyoung president of the Chicago Stadium these days, you'll find such an event as break- ing a mirror just an ordinary jinx, defier by Strotz. He's president of Chicago's Anti-Superstition Society and delights in tearing four-leaf clovers into bits, walking under lad- ders, drinking with his left hand, reaching for checks and getting some one to toss dice behind his back. "I'm out to prove that these su- perstitions, most of which have grown tobe lawstamong fighters, are a lot of foolishness," he says. To top off his campaign, Strotz astounded his friends and associates by scheduling a featherweight chai- "ionship fight at the Stadiul on no other day than Friday, January 13. f i I Y I i i . i I i -- ~~- --DER TH ICROSCOPE iCROCLEAN is a new and modern method which is tending to revoiu- CLEANING PROCESS I IN ANN tianieDry Cleaning.
